Sri Aurobindo — Nirodbaran Talukdar

December 19, 1934

I had expected the blows and enjoyed them. Only one blow I did not expect, nor did I seem to deserve it. It is where you say that I have hinted that you “have failed to get anything by works”.

Anything except preparation at any rate? for works can only prepare.

I send you the letter of the 16th for a little correction. In one place all of us stumbled. You have written: “It does not mean that I use the higher...” Use does not seem to make any sense here.

Because you have turned “lose” into “use”. No wonder everybody stumbled over that hitch.

If you have time, please complete the letter tonight.

None tonight.
